Unfortunately over the peak. Garnet with brick hues and transparent edge. Balsamic, chocolate, liquorice and blackberry marmalade. Melted tannins, traces of acidity. Still nice but fading, quite early for Brunello Riserva.

Lovely wine right now at the 15/16 year window. Bright red cherry, red raspberry, and plums up front. Tertiary notes starting to come forward of spice, red licorice, leather, herbs, earth, and subtle tobacco. Nice acidity, smooth tannins, long finish. Great to drink now but no rush.

This was good but a little underwhelming, fading quickly. It felt like there was more lurking underneath but, over five hours, it never fully came out.

Dark fruit, leather and a bracing core, this one exploded out of the bottle, then sort of died down (but was still gorgeous) after a two-hour decant. Sometimes decanting is overrated. My B, I guess.

Big and heavy wine, lacks the finesse I seek out in lighter style Brunello.
